Hello. I’m looking to recreate the functionality that Philips Hue’s have with multiple button presses on the hue dummer to go between various colour profiles you’ve set for a bulb. My thinking is:

Create an if else condition that sets the colour to white by default, but if the colour is white set the colour to blue, if the colour if blue then set it to green or whatever. Essentially mimicking the way you can click the top button on the hue dimmer to alternative between light shades and colours.

The problem is I’m not sure how to get about doing this. I think it’s possible, but all of the videos and discussions I’ve read don’t seem to click. I’m not really getting anywhere. (I’m fairly new to all of this). Reading the values of the temp_kelvin would be a good way I think. So as a starting point changing the colour temperature if the value is one of the ifs. e.g. 5000k > 4000k if 4000k > 3500k if 3500k > 2000k if 2000k > 5000k. and loop.

Is this something that someone can help me achieve? If there’s a better way of doing it I’m all ears and would love to learn more about the best way of doing things.

My end goes it to possibly have a blueprint or something or a script where the colours can be set easily for a particular dimmer switch.

Thanks.

Just added a Voltage Entity to a graph, same as several other devices/entities.
Only this one shows as
Source:History.

Any ideas why & how to correct ?

Hello,

I’m looking a creating a blueprint where the action would be using zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute to do something like this:

    - action: zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute
      data:
        cluster_type: in
        ieee: '{{ thermostats[repeat.index-1] }}'
        endpoint_id: 1
        cluster_id: 65281
        attribute: 16
        value: "{{ (states('sensor.quebec_temperature') | float * 100) | int }}"

This action work correctly if I create a variable “Thermostats” and put the IEEE addresses of each thermostat in it but… that defeat the purpose of creating a blueprint. The goal would be to be able to select devices or entities through the GUI and, based on a condition, have the zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute do his work. The issue I have right now is that if I select a few devices, what is recorded is device_id and that’s what is used as the ieee address. This generate an error about the fact that those are not valid value for dictionary value @ data[‘ieee’]. Using entities do the same but it’s sending stuff like climate.thermostat_bureau_thermostat which is still an invalid value for the same variable as you can see below.

HA is able to talk to the zigbee device and has to use ieee to do it. So, I would expect that there is a way to request HA what is the IEEE address related to a specific entity or device. Is there one? If so, what need to be done to get the information from an automation or blueprint?

Thank you.

Hi all,

As i am progressing at quite a good pace with integrating home assistant to automate my home from heat pumps, to lights, to Siemens PLC’s but now i hit a snag.

I have a RFXtrx433E to control my applicable RF appliances which works like a charm expect for my TV-lift! i got it to work without issues using the RFXmngr in which the pulse timing seemed quite critical.

What i did so far is capture the signal by automatically add which results in a detection which matches the raw signal in RFXmngr.
Detected as: Switch: PT2262 cc1231 & 3 (up and down)

RFXmngr captures the raw signal as:
10-2-2025 02:24:06:872= 09130007CC1232015850
Packettype = Lighting4
subtype = PT2262
Sequence nbr = 7
Code = CC1232 decimal:13374002
S1- S24 = 1100 1100 0001 0010 0011 0010
Pulse = 344 usec
Signal level = 5 -80dBm

Re-sending this command with a pulse timing of 300 usec worked like a charm every time.

So i convert these values to HEX

• Down (1100 1100 0001 0010 0011 0010) → Hex: `CC1232
• Up (1100 1100 0001 0010 0011 0001) → Hex: `CC1231

Now i can send it on the events page under development tools: (down as example)

service: rfxtrx.send
data:
event: 09130000CC1232

Nothing happens…, debug log shows the following:

DEBUG (SyncWorker_3) [RFXtrx] Send: 0x09 0x13 0x00 0x00 0xcc 0x12 0x31

Does anyone have any idea how i can make this work?

Hi

I am running ha as container and I have my database as a maria db running on a seperate machine. Backup config is configured to only backup config. But my backup size is still 182gb.
If i do a size check pf the config directory, I cant find the reason for such a big backup. What else could be the reason for such big backups?

I have an automation in the kitchen which was working but stopped a while ago when I changed the sensors.

Essentially i am looking for the automation to do the following:

After 19.30 and before 00:30 if the kitchen lights are on for 2 mins and no motion is detected on the Kitchen or Dining Room sensor, all the lights should turn off. I have another automation which turns the lights on during this time if motion is detected so I want this to continually turn on and off during this time on trigger of motion or no motion.

I am currently implementing a dashboard with this really nice component. The issue I have is that I want to show it in two parts. On one part, I have the calendar view, and it appears as if the cells (days) are clickable, since the cell get a different style when selected. Also, some information on the current day events are presented below the calendar.

How can I capture this “tap” on the cell, so that I can use the atomic calendar in event mode to display a detailed list of events for that current day? I wish it was built in so these two modes of the calendar could work in tandem, but it is not the case. Also, there is no “tap” event hander that I can use that I am aware of.

How can I solve this?

Hey, I’m having some issues with Sonoff switches becoming unavailable in homeassistant intermittently. They do however come back online if the switch button is manually pressed. Or if the switch is activated via ewelink.

This issue appears to be specific to each button on the device. For example a doubble switch can have switch A available while B is unavailable, and the switch doesnt go offline in ewelink. This leads me to beleve this isnt a network connectivity issue.

They are all M5-1C-86W & M5-2C-86W wifi switches. For refrence i have 89 of them total so unsure if im hitting some kind of limitation in the free version of the API or is this is a know issue.

I did find a known issue that sounds similar, so just wondering if I am experiencing said issue or if not what are the next steps to diagnosing whats happening?

I want to use an automation to capture the date/time a certain condition happens and display that date/time on a dashboard.

I got as far as creating an input_text helper entity in the GUI and creating an automation that stores {{ now() }} in the helper when the condition happens. But that entity is not treated as a timestamp, and I haven’t found a way to change that.

Maybe I’m going about this the wrong way. Any suggestions?

Hi,

Is it possible to trigger an automation when a new automation is created by the user ?

I’d like to get inspiration from Create a drop-down list from entities? where the use case is to populate an input_select based on switches that may evolve over time (as far as I understood).

Now, I’d like to do the same, but replacing switches by handmade automations within HA. Use case is basically for benchmarking temperature programs in my house, in a kinda-scientific way.
So I need a group of automations (so called programs) from which I can pick only one at a time. Hence the dropdown (I couldn’t find helper groups for automations).

So, when the user adds an automation, it triggers the refreshing of the automation dropdown.
Then, I can easily display at a time T which program had been selected, and I avoid any risk of misspelling or anything when adapting the automation name to the dropdown items.

I know I could just provide options like a time-pattern or just be satisfied with clicking on “Run Actions”, but if there is already an implementation of this, I’d like to learn more

Aqara has recently released Matter-over-Thread light switches in the EU and in the US. The switch’s home page describes Aqara’s proprietary “MARS” tech that synchronizes a smart light’s on/off status with the switch. However, it only works over Zigbee and only with Aqara bulbs. I wonder if this would be possible to do with HA over Matter, as well.

Im using a Z-wave rgb controller through Smartthings, and for some reason I can only turn it on and off in home assistant, but can only change color in the smartthings app. Any idea a fix? Re-installing the integration did not help

I’ll preface this by saying I’m very new to Home Assistant and using it with ZWave devices, so please bear with me. I have experience with ZWave devices on the Samsung SmartThings platforms but am currently migrating my devices to Home Assistant. All the devices have been working properly on the SmartThings controller.

I’ve excluded all my devices from Samsung and am now adding them to the Home Assistant network.

Everything had been going great, and I have about 23 devices moved over, but have started to run into problems adding devices which are on the edge of the range. The hub detects the devices and begins the process of including it, but then something in the interview process goes wrong and the node isn’t properly added, but it also doesn’t outright fail and I end up with an incomplete dead node that is stuck in some strange state with numbered node in my table in Z-wave JS UI, with “Unknown” device/manufacturer. They have the circular spinning icon like something is being updated but that never completes, and they are never removed. Even after days, these do not go away. I’ve tried restarting Home Assistant and shutting down Home Assistant fully unplugging the controller and restarting,

I’ve also tried removing them with the “Remove Failed Node” command in Z-Wave JS UI but the command never completes and doesn’t remove them.

The first time I call “Remove Failed Node” I eventually get a time out error:

2025-02-12 17:35:07.122 INFO Z-WAVE: Calling api removeFailedNode with args: [ 2, [length]: 1 ]

Any subsequent time I call the “Remove Failed Node” I get:

I continue to get that error until I reboot Home Assistant, then I get the time out error again once and I’m back to get the currently busy message.

Is there any way to remove these that does not require me to wipe the controller and start over? I’m concerned that I’ll just end up in the same state again if one node fails to add for some reason and I’d like to find a way to address them that doesn’t involve starting over.

Related: I’m not sure what is going on with the nodes getting partially added. As I understand it the best practice now is not to move the hub closer to the device when including them and they should be able to be successfully added via hops through existing devices. In the early days of ZWave the only way to get nodes added was to bring the device and the hub close together.

Thank you!

Hi!

Apexcharts-card is so nice. Been using it for basic good looking stuff for a while now.

I have difficulty on creating a two axis graph for fridge temperatures on one side and freezer temperatures on the other. I have 4 series, and need to match 2 ea side.

It seems series 1 gets matched do the left and 2,3,4 to the right, no matter the id I specify in series. Been bumping on that for a while. Maybe an experienced eye will find my error in a sec.

Thanks

Sort of the idea I think this post is getting at. I have a Home Assistant Yellow and just bought a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition. I want to set up a local voice system, but I don’t want to wait 8 seconds for the Pi Compute Module in the Yellow to process sound. So, I figured I’d set up faster-whisper and piper on a separate amd64 server I have handy and somehow link Home Assistant to it…but the READMEs for those projects seem geared toward command-line usage, and the Getting Started guides from Home Assistant seem focused on either “local” (meaning on the same host as the Home Assistant service) or “cloud” (meaning somewhere out in the internet) and nothing in between.

Long story to short question: Where do I look for guidance for setting up faster-whisper and piper on a separate server on my LAN, then getting Home Assistant to use it for Voice Assistant? I feel like it’s going to be something along the lines of “fooling” a “cloud” setup into talking to a local server…

Thanks in advance for all tips!

Note: This post was authored with more reference links, but I’m a ‘new user’ and therefore limited to two links per post…

Not sure what’s going on but updated like an hour ago to z-wave js addon 0.10.0 and now some nodes are not showing as online and even the ones showing up are not able to be controlled from home assistant.

The addon logs start up normally for a while then start spamming like this

I completely restarted my home assistant yellow and then I restored the addon to 0.9.0 from yesterday’s backup but that hasn’t fixed the issue.

Also seeing the occasional log like this

Controller is a Zooz ZST10 with firmware 7.18.3

Been running it for maybe 2 years now and never seen this issue.
